Beautifully designed, this retro house is the perfect blend of vintage with modern comfort. Trams outside the door and only 5 minutes from Hawthorn shopping strip & 15 mins from the CBD with popular eateries a short walk away this is your best bet for an awesome stay in Melbourne.
Both single beds can be pushed together to make a double bed!

Original 1920's Californian Bungalow with wooden floors and high ceilings. We have a beautiful, large garden with lots of shade, a hammock, treehouse, slackline, flying fox and outdoor seating for you to fully to enjoy the elements. The home is spacious whilst still being cosy. Everyone here is friendly but quiet.

Our leafy neighbourhood is the perfect blend of well-tended gardens and urban cool. Given that this area has the lowest crime rate in Melbourne, it is therefore a highly sought because you can be alone at night without any concerns for your safety but it still has all the appeal of a trendy Melbourne suburb. The gorgeous Yarra River is just an 8 minute walk away, tucked into a stunning cul-de-sac where you can sit in one of Melbourne's most beautiful parks and watch the sunset.
Then walk down to eat at some of the coolest restaurants in the city. For those looking to party, there are bars and one of the local nightclubs, ROOM, is a must-visit for lovers of electronic music - often hosting the biggest international DJs.
There is also a big soccer field, beautiful bike and walking tracks as well as high-end beauty salons and hairdressers just a hop skip and a jump away.

It's a very good place.

Rebecca2017-03-28T00:00:00Z

Big space. Good value for money. Excellent location. Rooms were cold and not at all sunny. Heaters should have been made available.

We had a lovely stay at bens home. They were friendly and made us feel welcomed. The house was clean and it was nice to be able to lock your bedroom door from the outside. Fully equipped kitchen came in handy as well

Ben2017-01-06T00:00:00Z

The room, the house and the garden are all beautiful and it's a real shame to see such an amazing space be a little bit cluttered! The room was comfortable, quiet enough and has much space to move and also lounge. The table for eating is a lovely added accessory to this room and the host themselves are lovely and interesting people. Unfortunately the bathroom was a huge let down, as a place for cleanliness, it is for from clean. I found numerous sanitary towel left out and hair left lying around by other guest, one morning there was even a cigarette left IN THE SHOWER. I really think the host needs to be more forcefull with their guests.

Duncan and Emily have done an amazing job with their private and convenient granny flat. They were very accomodating and left us to enjoy our trip. Would stay agin.

Rebecca2017-03-27T00:00:00Z

The property was spacious, clean and in the exact conditions as advertised. The hosts Emily and Duncan were easily accessible, flexible and of great assistance. The guest and I were made to feel welcome, comfortable and were given our privacy. We throughly enjoyed our time here. This property is highly recommended to those whom are interested.

Rory2016-11-08T00:00:00Z

Great place to stay in Melbourne. Very handy to at least 4 tram routes and the train so very easy to get around. Glenferrie Road is a 15 min pleasant walk and has pelnty of cafes, restaurants, shops & supermarket. We enjoyed local walks looking at all the beautiful houses in the Hawthorn area. Duncan & Emily were great hosts and on hand to answer any questions. Accommodation very modern with everything you need. We would stay there again.

Lloyd2017-03-14T00:00:00Z

The Lane House was a delight to stay in. Very comfortable, with everything one could need. Picturesque surrounds, with the upstairs looking out amongst the trees. Highly recommended.

Sam2017-04-26T00:00:00Z

Duncan and Emily's place was a perfect discreet and peaceful getaway in the middle of Hawthorn. The Lane House is exactly that and provides everything necessary for those wanting a short stay or a couple/single person looking for longer term residence as it manages to include room for entertaining, spacious bathroom, hidden Laundry and Lounge area that is only metres away from falling into a comfortable King bed.. Nothing too high tech for those who like their creature comforts but, in a quiet neighbourhood at the rear of their property, Ducan & Emilys "Lane house" gives everything necessary for an escape from the hustle & bustle of the city, but is close enough to the CBD & a stones throw from the Glenferrie Road precinct! Emily was amazingly helpful in allowing late check in and gave me an opportunity to stay abit longer and get picked up, avoiding taxis/trains. The lane leading to the house is pitch black at night (although ample lighting is provided) and I dare say, single females and some men would find it quite daunting to walk up to the door by themself. Overall, highly recommended..!

In one of hawthorns best streets is our 1 bedroom home that can accomodate 3 - 4 guests. Our home is close to trams to inner city Melbourne, the Gardiners creek trails, top notch local cafes and 4 star notable Melbourne restaurants!!

Our home is a beautiful old Victorian home. It has two car park spaces in a quiet but accessible street. In the highly sort after scotch hill area of hawthorn the area boasts local Gardiners creek trail ( a popular cycle track that runs into the city), Kooyong tennis club ( the home of the Kooyong Classic), and a myriad of great cafes ( kitchenette - riversdale road), porgie & jones ( auburn road ) and the famous Chois restaurant ( Riversdale road ). The bottom of our street backs onto a huge parkland with local hockey club, soccer ground and children's playground and a short walk will bring you to the hustle and bustle of glenferrie road. Once a month the Boroondara farmers market is held 1 km away adjacent to the hockey courts on auburn road. We love our home and are certain you too will love it as a base for your Melbourne stay. We are happy to negotiate price on longer stays ( month or more )

Our neighbourhood is reasonably quiet. Our neighbours are lovely and the area reflects the multi cultural feel, that is melbourne.
The streets are wide and leafy. The park is close, as is a decent cup of coffee !

The host canceled this reservation 2 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

CELESTINE 2017-05-18T00:00:00Z

We stayed at Rachel's property for 23 days in January. It is a colonial style unit with plenty of space and excellent facilities. Rachel was immediately contactable and a delight to meet. Any problems were speedily handled and we have no hesitation in arranging to stay there on our next visit to Melbourne. The facility of being able to put our car in the carport was a real bonus. It kept the car cool and readily available. We were very disappointed to read the review from our fellow UK countryman which we feel is totally out of context with our experience. The property has an air conditioning unit which can be switched over to heating; the problem is that we from the UK do not know how to operate such equipment!! The property is a short walk from the tram stop from where you can easily get to the City, Rod Laver Arena and MCG. There are two cafes by the tram stop and a Chinese restaurant. We would encourage anyone to use Rachel's property and enjoy the stay.

Bryan2017-01-24T00:00:00Z

Rachel was available instantly when I had a request. She happily allowed us to use her wifi, which was a bonus. The accomodation was very comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. When there was something that I asked for, it was there instantly. The place is tastefully decorated to make the overall experience very pleasant.

Christine2016-09-06T00:00:00Z

Great location and the house is neat and tidy. Rachel is friendly and helpful. We had a great time :)

Ngoc2017-02-15T00:00:00Z

The positives about Rachel's property are that it is in a great location. It's really close to public transport, which is frequent and quick - it only takes 30 mins to get into the centre of Melbourne. It's also only a short tram ride away from local supermarkets (or around a 20 minute walk). The bed was comfortable and it was useful to have the sofa bed in the lounge. Unfortunately this is where the positives end. When we arrived in Melbourne it was very cold and there is no central heating in the property, all that is provided is one standalone heater and one air-con unit to heat the whole house. After one night's sleep feeling cold we asked Rachel for an extra heater (so we could have one in the lounge and one in the bedroom). The response received was less than helpful, we were first told she'd drop one off and this did not materialise. When we asked her when we would get it she asked if we really needed it. She then said there were no heaters available and we became frustrated as this took place over a few days where we were very cold. Eventually she left us one but without the remote control. As well as this there was an ant infestation in the kitchen which after reporting to Rachel she not concerned about. This meant that any food not immediately eaten was consumed by ants. Rachel was also not concerned when we reported a leak in the kitchen coming through the ceiling when it rains. Nothing was done about this during our stay and we didn't even receive an apology. Rachel, however, did offer a $250 refund for our inconvenience but after 2 days we hadn't received it so asked when we would. Rachel said it would be given to us that night, it wasn't. The next day she said she had the money but when we received it was not the full agreed amount. We contacted her to ask for the rest of the money and she ignored our message. All in all we found Rachel to be very unhelpful and rude. Also it's important to state that the bathroom and kitchen are not pictured in the listing presumably because they are very outdated. So although the photos make the property look good it doesn't really live up to expectations. It's a real shame as if Rachel had have simply dealt with our issues promptly and apologised for the problems we had there would be no issues.

Danielle2016-12-14T00:00:00Z

This is a beautiful place which oozes charm and character. It is well-equipped and has the small things needed when you arrive from a long flight (tea,coffee,milk, toiletries) and enough for more than one cup! It is an easy walk to cafe's or a short tram ride to some great shopping! A wonderful stay and we would stay again for our next trip in Melbourne.

Jacinta2016-12-27T00:00:00Z

Rachel was an absolute delight to deal with, providing us with a lot of information about our stay well ahead of our check-in and always being quick to respond to any queries we might have. The unit has been really tastefully decorated - a fantastic fusion of old and new. It is located in a really quiet area, however it is only a short walk to the tram line, Glenferrie and Auburn Roads where there are lots of great restaurants and shops.

Jordan and Leo2016-10-21T00:00:00Z

Our house is just a short tram ride from Richmond, known for authentic Asian restaurants and trendy cafes on Bridge Rd.

Gale and super inserted into his house and gave us many tips for Melbourne. The room is beautiful and even has a small terrace with hammock. I would recommend the room each of looking for a charming and well located room in Melbourne.

hannah2017-01-20T00:00:00Z

Great communication, fantastic key safe for easy access to the house. A beautiful bright bedroom and bathroom. Private but with a welcoming homely feel. A revisit to an old stomping ground for us made staying at Gaels easy, convenient and the perfect choice. Fantastic value.

Louisa2017-04-09T00:00:00Z

Accommodation located in a quiet residential area, a few steps from the house is a tram stop n. 109 that takes you downtown in ten minutes. For prices of hotels drilled in Melbourne Gael solution provides the best compromise price / quality.

Manuela2017-03-22T00:00:00Z

This listing provides a perfect base to explore Melbourne. With trams that run 24/7 an easy 3 minute walk from your door and a quiet clean comfortable private space to return to, it just makes total sense and is excellent value for money. It's great to have the convenience of public transport so close but being positioned in a leafy col-de-sac, you can also enjoy a peaceful sleep in a super comfy bed with crisp white sheets. Everything met our expectations and hopes from pre-check-in to check-in, our actual stay and check-out - it all really couldn't have been smoother. Gael is a charming host that makes you feel totally at home but leaves you to enjoy your floor of his beautiful home. He or his daughter Lena communicated almost instantly regarding any queries we had and seemed genuinely happy to help in any way they could. There are fabulous books to read and artefacts from around the world to look at, all of which add to this delightful listing. All in all, I can't recommend this listing highly enough and we certainly wouldn't choose anywhere else to stay if we should return to this city in the future. Im sure you will enjoy your stay with Gael as much as we did!

Joanne 2017-03-28T00:00:00Z

Gael was absolutely nice. He and his daughter gave us many recommedations and we really felt like home immediately! Check-in was highly flexible and we were welcomed very friendly. Also, the place is in a quiet neighbourhood and has a nice european charme. The room, bathroom and whole house looks even more beautiful than on the pictures- it was really a joy staying there. Everything was clean, very bright and homey. We had access to a balcony with a cute hammock even- little paradise, no doubts! I recommend this place for everyone exploring Melbourne.

Alissa2016-12-12T00:00:00Z

This one will never goes wrong! The pictures shown exactly the same, a cozy room with comfortable queens bed, big & clean private bathroom and a balcony ! Our host Gael was very helpful during our stay here. He guided us on understanding the road signs, checking weather for us to visit great ocean on sunny day, and also provide us flexible check in/out time. Besides, there is a lovely dog in the house and we just love him ! Honestly it was a very wonderful experience to be hosted by Gael! I will definitely come back to this when I visit Melbourne again. Thanks Gael for hosting us, we have wonderful days in Melbourne!

Chris2017-05-09T00:00:00Z

It is a very lovely, clean and well furbished apartment, and the room was very comfy and pleasant to stay in! Gael was very hospitable when we met him and although he had to work late on the nights we stayed, he made an effort to write us a note. Thank you for the wonderful stay, Gael!:)

Andre2017-05-13T00:00:00Z

Just as it says " spacious and sunny master bedroom". The room was delightful to come home to after a long day. Having my own bathroom was great. The special touches like French linen sheets just added to the comfort. Lovely family. Thank you Gael.

We stayed in Alice's place for a week and it was really lovely. Alice is a great host and very welcoming and friendly. The house has everything you could need and is really clean and spacious, the bathroom was amazing as well. It's a five minute walk to Hawthorn station, and 10 minutes into the city from there. Cose to everything you need. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend this place, it felt like home.

Ling2015-10-03T00:00:00Z

We booked at short notice. Mark and Wendy went out of their way to coordinate us getting in to the house in a manner that suited both parties. Their communication was excellent. The area where the house is is very quite and yet close enough to arterial roads and public transport to make it very convenient for a Melb stay. They were very welcoming and made us feel wonderfully at home...the glass of red wine was a welcome treat after a long days travelling. The house is superb and our accommodation would be very hard to beat. Certainly ranks in the top tier of airbnb's that we have stayed in.

Mark and Wendy were great hosts. I wasn't sure what to expect as this was my first time using airbnb and I had my 5yo son with me, but our hosts made us feel very welcome and my son loved staying there. The room and facilities were very clean and modern. The room was nice and warm when we checked in (we arrived at 9:30pm), which was just lovely in the chilly weather.

Andrea Young-Oak2017-05-14T00:00:00Z

Wendy and Mark’s beautiful house is located in a very quiet leafy-green suburb of Melbourne. There is a great shopping strip (with a department store and all the shops one needs) nearby. Public transport is good and Wendy & Mark have been most helpful giving me directions and helping out by taking me to the train stations, two of which are about a 10 or 15 minute walk away. Trams service the road at the top of the street where Wendy & Mark live, with the tram stop only about a 5 minute walk from their house. The short, nice walk is great because I had the benefit of the trams without having the noise. I felt really safe walking in the area and had some great early morning walks stopping in for breakfast at one of the many cafes in the area. I hired a car part way through my stay and there is plenty of safe, on-street parking outside the house. The large room is just beautiful, with its own really nice en-suite bathroom with two wash basins, WC and a shower. Great towels too! There is plenty of storage space both in the en-suite and in the double walk-in wardrobe that has been fitted out with tons of clothes hangers. The room is comfortable; on the cool nights it was warm enough and it was comfortably cool on the hot nights (Melbourne weather!). The queen sized bed is very comfortable with a good firm, but not hard, mattress. Wendy & Mark are just delightful hosts; absolutely unobtrusive, but at the same time always there when I needed them. They gave me lots of helpful pointers. They made me feel really welcome in their house from when I arrived throughout my stay. I can thoroughly recommend their house as a place to stay in Melbourne with absolutely no reservations at all. There are simply no negative points. Well done Wendy and Mark, thank you for everything.

Arechea's place is so close to the Howthron train station and city. It's nice, clean and private. Arechea is also a nice host. Her dog Moo is friendly and quite. We had a nice stay. Thanks Arechea :)

JESSIE 2017-02-20T00:00:00Z

Beautiful accommodation on a quiet leafy street, a very short tram or train ride to Richmond and the CBD. Arechea is a very nice, reliable host. Hope to stay there again!

Dylan2017-03-26T00:00:00Z

Arechea was a wonderful host. The accommodation was exactly as advertised. It was lovely to talk to her on occasion but we had complete privacy and easy access. Train station two minutes walk away so easy to get around Melbourne. Would recommend to anyone looking for a lovely stay in a quiet, leafy residential suburb of Melbourne. Thank you.

Liz2016-06-29T00:00:00Z

The cottage was adorable. We were only there for one night, but the house is in a great location, and the perfect size for what we needed. The space was clean, and uncluttered, and the beds were very comfortable. Lynette was great, easy to reach, and gave us everything we needed.

Susannah2016-05-09T00:00:00Z

Beautiful house, well presented on a lovely quiet street. My 3 year old LOVED the toys and trampoline! Great location near a park and hip cafes. Thanks for a great stay!

Samantha2016-06-13T00:00:00Z

Thank you, Lynette, for making your lovely home available to us. We found the location so convenient for a night at the theatre, very comfortable beds, everything so neat and clean. We would definitely return.

Lovely space in a beautiful home! So nice to have our own bathroom as well! And the hosts were very welcoming! However it was not that clear how we should clean up after ourselves as there was no sink in the breakfast bar area so we felt a little awkward. But other than that a perfect stay! Thank you very much :)

The location is amazing, just a short trip to Glenferrie Rd with it's eateries and shops, and central to our requirements for the weekend. I would love to stay here again!

A great and fantastic place to stay esp family with kids. We simply loved this house with its exquisite furnishings n fully equipped kitchen. Beds are really comfy. Neighborhood very quiet n easy access to city and outskirts. Kym the host was super friendly n helpful. She is always quick to respond. Will stay again definitely!

Samantha2016-03-13T00:00:00Z

Kym was lovely and very responsive. My partner and I were getting married and we stayed there with the bridal party the night before and got ready together the next day- Kym's place was perfect for this. It's really lovely, open and light filled. The courtyard is lovely. We really enjoyed our stay and I highly recommend staying here!

Nhi2016-11-12T00:00:00Z

My family had such a wonderful experience and stay at your house, they were sad to leave! Your home was so lovely and spacious. We really appreciated that the thermostat was already running and it was literally a very warm welcome from the cold outside when we checked-in. The location is in a quiet street but so close to Hawthorn's Glenferrie Road Shopping and Cafe precinct, it is FANTASTIC. Thank you so much for opening your house up to us, Kym. We absolutely adored it.

There is a fabulous Sunday market every Sunday selling clothes, furniture, antiques, flowers and all kinds of odds and ends and a great atmosphere with musicians. There loads of great shops at the Junction on Bourke Road, as well as supermarkets and a fresh food market.

Zadia & Tim made us feel extremely welcome from the moment I made contact regarding arrival time. They were perfect hosts. Zadia had everything covered. And once we arrived it just felt like home. So lovely and clean. The accuracy of the ad was spot on. We couldn't be happier, it certainly met our expectations! The location was most convenient, in a very quiet, lovely street, with easy access to trams and short walk to the main street!

Mirella2016-10-01T00:00:00Z

A big smile and a relaxed household. Zadia was available but not intrusive. The room was at the front of the house so I could come and go easily. The bathroom was spotless and the ambience cheerful and generous.

Jane2015-11-16T00:00:00Z

Great location, communication and facility. I stayed for work purposes and this was much more suitable than a hotel. Zadia was wonderful host, and the room and bathroom were spotless. Description and pictures on AirBnB were 100% accurate. I will definitely stay here again.

Stuart2017-02-09T00:00:00Z

Very hospitable couple and extremely flexible with various changes. Special mention - Mattress is very comfortable. Will be back again soon!

Guan Kiang2016-08-29T00:00:00Z

Tarriq2016-07-02T00:00:00Z

Zadia and Tim were absolutely terrific hosts. Zadia is very kind, friendly and considerate. Tim gave me useful tips on which locations to visit in Melbourne. The place itself is beautiful and is located in a scenic neighborhood. I highly recommend their place.

Melissa's place is in a quiet residential suburb close to public transport options (tram and trains). This is the second time I have stayed because it feels like "home" when I am there. Hope to stay again when I am in Melbourne.

Dawn2017-05-24T00:00:00Z

I stay at Melissa's house whenever I'm visiting the area. Great spot, great host.

Lyle2016-10-05T00:00:00Z

Melissa's place is great. I only had an overnight stay, but found everything, including comfortable bed, really fine. Great house, great area, great people. Recommended.

Barry 2016-12-19T00:00:00Z

Melissa is the perfect host and her accommodation delightful. We communicated a number of times prior to my arrival because I was driving there from Sydney and did not know exactly what time I would arrive. Melissa responded promptly each time and made arrangements for me to gain access to her home if she wasn't there when I arrived. I was able to park right outside. Found the large airy room easily. Had a shower and relaxed. Later that evening I met Melissa and we chatted like we had known each other for ages. This continued the following morning - she is so easy to talk to. Her house is in a quiet residential area. The bed was extremely comfortable and I slept really well. The bathroom and kitchen were clean and tidy. I would love to stay there again if I am visiting Melbourne.

Old style mansion. Staying here will give you easy access to Melbourne CBD, Swinburne University, plenty of shops & restaurants as well as Melbourne's famous Yarra River only a short walk away. The train station is close by and tram stops outside out beautiful home

Great hosts - ben checked in with me several times to make sure all was good. Pleasant to deal with, quick to respond, and keeps a neat inviting home. Would stay with Ben again!

Ben2017-04-29T00:00:00Z

Property: The place is exactly the same as Ben described in the property listing. Great place with public transport at the doorsteps. Walkable distance to Swinburne and Melbourne Uni (Burnely Campus). CBD is just 20 mins ride from here. Lots of eating options be it local Aussie food, Indian or South East Asian (Thai, Vietnamese, Malaysian, Singaporean), you name it you will be able to find it. All major grocery stores are within reach. Host: Amazing couple. Ben man of less words great handyman, is always there to help you. The day I landed was most probably the coldest day in April, I am not used to such cold weather and as soon as I informed Ben he adjusted the heating, blocked the vent with a wooden board(I suspected the cold wind was blowing in from there) and provided me with an extra blanket. Atilia, very informative and well travelled lady. We had few interesting conversations on range of topics. PS. I would suggest to read reviews of other properties Ben has posted as all are different rooms in same mansion.

Margot is an absolute angel! I had the best time staying with her. The house is beautiful & so is her lil' dog Minnie! I enjoyed my stay thoroughly & would recommend this to everyone. Thanks Margot!

Aimen2017-01-20T00:00:00Z

Margot was very welcoming and generous with her place. She was flexible (we were later than planned) and very keen to make sure we had everything we wanted. The room was nice and we had a bathroom, toilet to ourselves. Despite the busy location, it's nice and quiet, being set back off the road by another house in front. I would recommend Margot and her place. A good-value home-away-from-home.

Tim2016-02-04T00:00:00Z

Margot was a terrific host, nothing was too much trouble. The room is spacious with air conditioning and I had a full bathroom to myself. The towels were soft and fluffy and the bed was so soft I slept soundly. There's a lovely park around the corner running along the yarra and it was a beautiful place to enjoy. Given I was honored to be Margots first guest, I can imagine how spoilt her next guest will be. I look forward to enjoying Margot's hospitality again. Thanks for having me Margot and I hope minmin has many happy walks.

Juliette2016-01-18T00:00:00Z

Exactly as represented. Clean and comfortable house. Margot was very helpful and welcoming. Bedroom and bathroom were both clean and comfortable. Construction and decor is late 1960s/early 1970s but has been well maintained. We would stay here again.

My place is close to Swinburne University, Glenferrie Road shopping strip, with great places to eat; La Tropezienne, Samurai, and Grill'd. You’ll love my place because of the ambiance, the outdoors space, and the location. My place is good for couples, solo adventurers, and business travelers.

Located in the leafy suburb of Hawthorn. This light filled freestanding cottage is located at the back of the main residence and has a private rear entrance. It is set in a beautiful garden with a sun filled deck with leafy outlooks.
Curios and exotic artworks give The Gatehouse a spirit of adventure. There’s a dreamy quality to this home, with private entrance this Hawthorn home offers a unique experience just 7 km from the city centre. Entering into the sitting room you will discover the tall bookshelves laden with books and unique trinkets. From here you will find a contemporary bathroom with walk in shower and separate WC and straight ahead you’ll come to the master bedroom. Eclectic mirrors and Indian screens adorn the walls behind the queen-size bed with sumptuous bedcovers and fluffy doona.
Upstairs you will find a vast space with white walls, comfy linen sofas and seating in natural tones. In the sunfilled dining room, have a seat at the vintage round dining table for 6 which adjoins a large functional modern kitchen.
The terrace, through double glass doors from the living area is a private oasis with carpet grass and plenty of outdoor seating.

here is easy access to public transport, bike paths, shops and restaurants, and CityLink. 5 minutes walk to train and tram. 10 minutes to CBD by train. 5 minutes walk to closest shopping centre and Swinburne University.
This Melbourne inner city suburb is generally regarded to be one of Melbourne's surviving bastions of post-Gold Rush expansion and today, one of Melbourne's most affluent and influential suburbs.
Hawthorn is particularly noted for the number, range and quality of its restaurants, many of which reflect the strong ethnic diversity of the region. There are also many nightclubs and hotels in the suburb.
Glenferrie Road is a major shopping strip, with two supermarkets, all major banks and many chain and specialty stores. Hawthorn train station is just 6.2kms from Melbourne’s CBD (11 minutes by train to Flinders Street and only 8 minutes to Richmond station, MCG, Rod Laver, Hisense Arena and AAMI Park for the sports and entertainment lover). A destination perfect for business or leisure travelers.
